What are the benefits of dog training?

Dog training helps your dog respond reliably to commands, reducing the risk of accidents and promoting a more settled and less anxious demeanor. It also strengthens the bond between you and your dog through clear communication and consistent instruction.

What can I expect during the initial consultation for dog training?

The initial consultation involves a quick phone discussion to understand your dog's behavior challenges and specific issues. This helps in determining the best training options and arranging an assessment in the appropriate environment.

How is the preliminary assessment conducted in dog training?

The preliminary assessment can take place at your home or via Zoom for online sessions. During the one-hour assessment, information about your dog's history, current behavior, and environment is gathered to provide a detailed explanation of the behaviors and how they can be addressed.

What happens after the dog behavior assessment?

After assessing your dog's behavior, practical solutions and necessary tools are provided to resolve behavior challenges. Tailored training recommendations are given, including advice on managing behavior and implementing strategies moving forward.

What types of dog training sessions are available?

Group classes, in-home sessions, and Zoom training are available, accommodating all breeds and ages from 8 weeks, with no lock-in contracts.

OUR PROCESS

The Anketell Dog Training Process

Initial Consultation

Our process begins with a quick phone consultation to discuss your dog’s behaviour challenges and any specific issues you’re facing. Once we have a clear understanding of your situation, we’ll discuss the best training options and arrange a time to assess your dog in the appropriate environment, either at home or another location.

Preliminary Assessment

Next, we conduct an assessment, which can take place at your home or via Zoom for online sessions. During the one-hour assessment, we’ll gather information about your dog’s history, current behaviour, and environment. We’ll then provide you with a detailed explanation of why these behaviours are occurring and how they can be addressed.

Problem Solving

Once we’ve assessed your dog’s behaviour, we’ll help you understand the underlying causes of the issues. We will guide you through practical solutions and provide the necessary tools to resolve the behaviour challenges. Our aim is to give you the knowledge and confidence to address these issues effectively.

Training Recommendation

At the conclusion of the consultation, we will provide tailored training recommendations. This includes advice on managing your dog’s behaviour, implementing strategies moving forward, and the type of training that will be most beneficial. Depending on your dog’s needs, we may recommend additional sessions, follow-up consultations, or group training classes.

What Is Dog Obedience Training and How Does It Work?

Dog obedience training is a structured process of teaching your dog to respond to commands, behave appropriately in different environments, and interact safely with people and other animals. It starts with the basics — sit, stay, come, leave it, and heel — and builds from there depending on your dog’s needs.

Most owners notice meaningful improvements within a few weeks. Training also teaches you — our trainers make sure you understand the techniques and timing needed to maintain progress at home, because that’s where the real results happen.

Benefits of Dog Training Anketell

Calmer walks from week one

Owners notice immediate improvements as their dogs walk by their side without pulling or lunging. Strolling through Anketell’s parks becomes more enjoyable and relaxing, making daily exercise a pleasant routine rather than a struggle.

Less stress greeting visitors at home

Family and friends can enter without the chaos of jumping or barking. Owners appreciate welcoming guests into a calm, friendly home environment, which leads to less stress and more positive social interactions for everyone.

Flexible weekend classes suit busy lives

The training schedule includes convenient weekend slots, allowing working owners in Anketell to participate without rearranging their weekdays. This flexibility makes it easier to commit and see consistent results without disrupting daily routines.

Reliable recall at outdoor spaces

Visits to local reserves and off-lead areas are less worrisome when a dog responds quickly to recall commands. Owners enjoy greater peace of mind, knowing their dog will return promptly even with distractions around.

Why Training Matters

Before Training

Pulling, ignoring, jumping
Pulling on the lead, jumping on guests, and ignoring recall. Most owners wonder if this is just how their dog is — it isn’t.

During Training

Safety, less stress, better life
A dog that responds reliably to commands is less likely to put itself or others at risk. Dogs that understand expectations feel more settled and less anxious.

After Training

A stronger bond for life
Clear communication and consistent instruction builds
trust between you and your dog in a way few other activities can. Training is an ongoing habit, not a one-time fix.

How to get the most out of it

Every dog learns at its own pace
There is no universal timeline. Some dogs pick things up fast, others need more repetition. Focus
on progress, celebrate small wins, and trust the process.

Consistency is everything
Same commands, tone, and expectations every time — and make sure everyone in the household does the
same. Mixed signals are the most common reason dogs struggle.

Keep sessions short and frequent
5–10 minutes several times a day beats one long exhausting session. Always finish on something your
dog does well so training stays a positive experience.

Reward timing matters
Reward within 1–2 seconds of the desired behaviour. Any longer and your dog may not make the
connection. Precise timing is what accelerates learning.

Training is an ongoing habit
Finishing a programme is just the beginning. Continuing to reinforce what your dog has learned is
what keeps a well-trained dog well-trained for life.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Dave came around for a one on one session with our new rescue dog Mikey. Dave is so knowledgeable about dog behaviours and training methods. He educated me on why Mikey was reacting the way he was and what I needed to do to be a good leader for him. It all made such perfect sense. I also appreciated that Dave made sure I was realistic about my expectations for Mikey. I only wish I had found Dave from the very beginning of our journey with Mikey. I feel so much more aligned and comfortable with Dave’s training approach and look forward to continuing our journey with Agile Dog Training.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We recently attended our first class at Agile Dogs and we were really impressed! The class ran seamlessly with over a dozen pups. The trainer was very knowledgeable and approachable. Not only did he provide practical advice,  but also demonstrated the techniques with such ease, making it easy for us to follow and apply with our pup Really glad we found Agile Dogs and will definitely be back for future classes. Highly recommend!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We engaged Dave for a home visit to help us with our 3 year old Labrador. Dave gave us practical advice and demonstrated some effective strategies to assist with lead walking and excessive barking. We have seen a dramatic improvement in how we manage our dog’s behaviour. Would highly recommend his services.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Highly recommend this dog training! We have a three year old Kelpie cross who is reactive to other dogs when on the lead. We’ve had one session of one-on-one training and attended one group session and can see a difference already. Thanks Dave!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Definitely recommend Agile Dogs to any new puppy owner! David is so knowledgeable, and for the short time that I was able to be at the private session with my partner, I learned so many new techniques to put into practise. He provided the support and knowledge we need to get through the roller coaster puppy phase. 5/5!

Group classes start at $40 per session, and private training typically begins from $90, depending on the location and length. We don’t tie you into contracts, so you only pay for the sessions you attend. If you have more than one dog, let us know—there’s usually a discount for extra dogs from the same household.
